印第安纳大学与普渡大学印第安纳波里斯联合分校

The Department of Health Sciences offers a variety of academic programs. As a student in one of these areas, you will benefit from an interactive learning environment, challenging course material, and research, internship, and leadership opportunities. The Health Sciences faculty and staff are equipped and prepared to help you reach your academic, professional, and career goals.

The Bachelor of Science in Health Sciences (BSHS) program offers the opportunity to earn a baccalaureate degree in the general field of health sciences.

The Health Sciences program has been designed to meet the needs of three specific student groups: (1) students who want to prepare for entry and mid-level positions in for profit and not for profit health care organizations, (2) students who want to apply to graduate health professions programs, and (3) health care professionals who have already obtained an associate’s degree in an allied health field and would like to obtain a baccalaureate degree. This undergraduate degree is a particularly excellent choice for any student interested in occupational therapy, physical therapy, medicine, nursing, or physician assistant studies.

The SHRS-W courses for the Bachelors of Science in Health Sciences (BSHS) are offered both online and in the classroom. The minimum required credit hours for the BSHS degree are 120 credit hours, divided among required core courses, and elective courses. The core curriculum is 76 credit hours; and the remainder of the credit hours are from elective courses.

For those students seeking to earn one of the three undergraduate Certificates, those credits are applied as elective credits. For students seeking to attend graduate school, the pre-requisite courses are applied as elective credits.
